Purple Castor Bean (Ricinus communis)

Purple Castor Bean

These beautiful plants have 5-7 point showy leaves, with simple white to yellow blooms. A semi-woody shrub with fast growth rates, this plant makes beautiful accenting in gardens.

⚠️ Toxicity Warning:

Castor beans are toxic if ingested!

Color: Purple to burgundy foliage, white blooms.

Plant seeds in rich potting mix. Depth of seeds should be roughly 1/2” deep, keeping moist but not soggy, and in a warm sunny spot to encourage germination. Seeds need warmth to germinate.I would suggest starting in a tray and isolating plants as they mature.
